Neptune Planet Astrology Meaning

People under the strong influence of Neptune feel the influence of the social environment with particular acuteness. They are very sensitive and quite vulnerable, capable of experiencing deep emotion. Hence the keen perception of someone’s grief, empathy, and sympathy.

This kind of sensitivity often leads to susceptibility to suggestion or mentalistic skills. Those who are marked by strong Neptune can be roughly divided into two categories. The first, numerous category, are people being dragged along by the planet’s influence. As a rule, they are people who lack willpower who just prefer to go with the flow. This category often includes the lovers of uncontrollable kicks: alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes, and just cowards and generally weak-willed people.

The second category which is less numerous includes people who are highly advanced in terms of intellect. They can use the planet’s influence for their personal purposes. Neptune gives these people faith, the ability to overcome any obstacles, and great willpower. In the best-case scenario, these people turn out to be great spiritual mentors, priests, saints, and just people who believe in themselves. In the worst case, they are liars, swindlers, false prophets that easily manipulate others.

However, there are also people who can from time to time go from one category to another.

Neptune is the strongest in Pisces and Sagittarius. The planet is exalted in Aquarius which allows for quite strong planetary influence as well.

Neptune is weakened in Virgo and Gemini being in detriment in these signs. It’s also rather weak in Leo where it’s in the fall. People who were born under these signs are always much more interested in specificity and find it hard to adapt to the abstractness and vagueness of Neptune’s influence.

In positive aspects, Neptune offers great intuition, confidence in your own self, and the ability to see a bigger picture. It allows you to be cunning, to overcome obstacles smoothly and tells about sensitivity and romanticism.

In negative aspects, the planet can be quite nasty. It causes alcoholism and drug addiction, getting into bad companies hard to get out of.
